Mum’s Christmas Fabric by Robin Pickens for Moda Fabrics

Mum’s Christmas by Robin Pickens for Moda Fabrics brings flowers, evergreens and winter imagery together in a Christmas collection that feels fresh, colorful and unmistakably Robin Pickens.

The collection centers around magnificent deep red chrysanthemums, accompanied by sprigs of holly, pine cones, mistletoe, pine branches, snowflakes and whimsical winter trees.

Robin describes mums as symbols of joy, admiration and deep love, making the flowers a beautiful centerpiece for a collection celebrating both winter's natural beauty and the sparkle of the holidays.

Dramatic Red Chrysanthemums

The chrysanthemums are the stars of Mum’s Christmas.

Large red blooms fill dramatic focal prints on snowy white, poinsettia red, juniper green and deep onyx backgrounds. Holly leaves, berries and touches of aqua and green weave between the flowers, creating lush botanical prints with plenty of movement.

These large-scale florals can become the focal point of a Christmas quilt, while the smaller coordinates throughout the collection provide contrast and balance.

Pine Cones, Holly and Winter Greenery

Robin Pickens brings the outdoors into Mum’s Christmas with pine cones, pine branches, holly, berries and mistletoe.

Some prints feature naturalistic pine cones and evergreen branches, while others reinterpret the same winter botanicals through cross-stitch-inspired artwork.

That repetition of familiar imagery in different artistic styles helps the collection feel cohesive without making every print look alike.

Cross-Stitch-Inspired Christmas Prints

One of the most distinctive elements in Mum’s Christmas is Robin's use of cross-stitch-inspired motifs.

Pine cones, mistletoe, snowflakes and pine branches are rendered with the geometric character of stitched needlework, creating prints that connect quilting and cross stitch in an especially appropriate way for Robin Pickens, who designs in both mediums.

The effect gives Mum’s Christmas a handmade quality without turning it into a traditional reproduction collection.

Whimsical Winter Trees

The tree prints were inspired by trees from Robin Pickens' Winterly collection.

Rows and clusters of stylized trees appear in aqua and green, with layers of leaves, trunks and woodland shapes creating a whimsical winter forest.

The large green tree print is particularly striking and offers a completely different scale from the collection's mums, dots and smaller botanical prints.

Snowflakes for a Winter Christmas

Snowflakes appear throughout Mum’s Christmas in several different forms.

Some are bold cross-stitch-inspired designs, while others appear as smaller motifs scattered across dark grounds. Their aqua, green, red and gray color combinations connect the winter imagery to the broader palette of the collection.

Painted Stripes Add Movement

Robin describes the collection's stripe designs as painted stripes, and the irregular lines give them a distinctly artistic quality.

Rather than perfectly uniform bands, these prints have movement and variation that complement the hand-drawn and cross-stitch-inspired elements elsewhere in the collection.

Use them for quilt blocks, borders, sashing or binding where a directional print can add another layer of interest.

Dots and Snowy Texture

Tiny scattered dots appear throughout the collection in aqua, red, deep green and black.

Robin describes these coordinates as adding snowy texture, and they work beautifully as supporting fabrics beside the larger chrysanthemums, trees and pine-cone prints.

Their small scale makes them especially useful for patchwork, backgrounds, borders and binding.

Browse additional Polka Dot Fabric and Textured Fabric for coordinating possibilities.

A Fresh Christmas Color Palette

Mum’s Christmas has a distinctive palette that sets it apart from a conventional red-and-green Christmas collection.

Aqua, juniper green, poinsettia red, snowy white and onyx gray form the foundation.

Aqua brightens the collection and gives the winter imagery a crisp freshness. Juniper green and poinsettia red establish the Christmas story, snowy white provides contrast, and deep onyx grounds create drama behind the flowers and botanicals.

30 Premium Cotton Prints

Mum’s Christmas includes 30 premium cotton prints.

Robin Pickens balances dramatic focal fabrics with an extensive assortment of useful coordinates. Large chrysanthemums and whimsical tree prints command attention, while pine cones, botanical motifs, snowflakes, painted stripes, dots and textured prints provide the supporting scales needed for patchwork.

That range makes it possible to build an entire quilt from Mum’s Christmas while still achieving contrast between focal, medium-scale and quieter fabrics.

Coordinate Mum’s Christmas with Thatched

For additional coordinating options, look to Robin Pickens' signature Thatched basics for Moda Fabrics.

Thatched Fabric by Robin Pickens combines solid-like versatility with subtle drawn texture, making it a natural companion to Robin's more detailed floral and botanical collections.

Choose a Thatched color that pulls from the aqua, red, green, white or dark tones in Mum’s Christmas and use it for backgrounds, borders, sashing or binding.
